Ready, Aim. . .Fire!

Synopsis:
-

Notes:
The Challenge: This month, writers (or their awesomely brave friends) were required to go on an online date. Their plays had to be based on the date in some way, and while the resultant play did not need to conform to the actual date, it had to be inspired by this firsthand experience. The plays were required to be no more than ten minutes in length with a maximum of three actors involved. Flights of fancy were encouraged.
